Prolonged inhalation of excessive dust may cause lung damage. It is attributed to “lung overloading”, a generic response to excessive amounts of any dust retained in the lungs for a prolonged interval. Use of this product, as intended, does not result in inhalation of excessive dust. In a study in rats by chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of rats in the high concentration (16mg/m3) exposure group, and a minimal to mid degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals in the middle (4mg/m3) exposure group. But no pulmonary change was reported in the lowest (1mg/m3) exposure group, the most relevant level to potential human exposures. Negative (by Ames test) Carbon Black is classified as “Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans)” by IARC, the International Agency for Research on Cancer. With excessive exposure, carbon black has been listed as a possible human carcinogen. However, we obtained the results from a Chronic Toner Inhalation Study, that commercially available toner has no evidence of human carcinogens. All other ingredients are not classified as “Carcinogens”. Version 6.1 Release Date 13 May 2008
